command in Philadelphia.
« I have inclofed among other
things 1 hope to be able to fend
to America, by the frigate Portf
mouth, a bull of Buonaparte—
which, though its principle value
will be its rcfemblance to that
hero, I hope you will find ac
ceptable on that account.”

Sir,
The indecent and impertinent
attack, that you have of late
made upon the Executive of this
Hate, has juft come to my view,
wherein you have charged him
in direft terms, of being the
author of the Up Countryman.
Refpcft for the charaftcr you
have abided, and a dcflre to
convince you of your error,
compels me to declare, that the
Governor never wrote a word in
either of the pieces under that
fignature, nor do I believe, he
ever faw them, till they appeared
in print. 1 he Up Countryman
as he ftiles himfelf, is as diftant
from Louifvillc as he is from
Augufta ; and although his ac
quaintance with you is merely
theoretical, yet lie trufts, and
hopes, before many more years
revolve, that you and himfelf
will have a practical knowledge
1 o
of each other, and when tliis
takes place, he promifes you, as
General Lee did Mils Franks—
<c that he will not turn his back
upon you.” You have labored,
and with apparent ingenuity, to
deny in toto the two firft charges
that I exhibited againft you, viz.
that you originally was oppofed
to the fale of the Weftern Ter
ritory ; and fecondiy, that you
exprefled a wifh that the nulli
fying aft might pals. If it were
poflible that thefc charges were
aftionablc, 2nd could be tried
in a court of judicature, 1 could
convift you with certainty, and
that upon the teftimony of two
difinterefted men, that never
had, nor never will have the
value of one Bulling in that fpe
culation ; and are as noted for
their veracity, as you are for
your llanderous publications. —
Having gone thus far, an.l fub
ftantiated what I in the firft in
ftance advanced, I fhall here
leave you, but will take you
upon another ground, where
with all your effrontery, you will
not have it as much in your
power to evade condemnation.
The prcfidcntial cleftion which
is now upon the anvil, appears
to command the attention of die
public in general, and you in
particular, and here, if I may
be allowed the exprefhen, you
have afperfecT the #harafler of
the Vice IVfi.ient; an 1 diCo
vered your ft If to be a partial
exparte writer. To enhance the
reputation of Mr. Adams, and
dimini Hi that of Mr. lefferfon,
you have refortcd to means to
eftablifh your points, that would
be dallardly in a foldier, and in
a politician illiberal and uncan
did. Not content with what>
public clamour has improperly
attempted to imprds the com
munity with, we lee you filching
from his inaugural fpeech deli
vered to the fenate, expreffions
that were complimentory and
honorable to Mr. Adams, and
which every good citizen ought
to efteern, and for thefe very
expreffions you have condemned
him, and applied them to the
caule of Mr. Adams, inferring
from that, he is the mo ft dat
able pciion for prdident. T'his
in common terms is wounding
a man with Ids own weapon,
“ or robbing Peter to pay Paul.”
If you had placed thefe two
great men properly before the
people of the United States,
and commented impartially upon
their talents and virtues, the ad
would be laudable, and entitled
to merit; but inftead of this,
we find you unfolicited, imper
tinently intruding your opinion
to one hundred and thirty eight
independent eledors j declaring
that a change in the Executive
at this cribs will be hazardous
and impolitic. The rcafons you
aflign againft Mr. Jefferfon, are
as feeble as yourfelf. One of
which is, that he is a deift ; this
to my knowledge is palpably
falfe. Anotlicr not Ids (utile,
is that of his being too much
attached to French principles,
and if Prdident, his objed
would be, to deftroy ourprefent
excellent conftitution, and build
up another after the model of
the French. To obviate fuch
ridiculous aiTertlons, let us for a
moment view him in the capa
city of fecretary of ftatej and
we fliall there find much'to his
credit and honor, that our rights
t 7 o
as an independent nation, were
after ted with ftrmncfs and ability,
and with fuccefs too, againft: the
able ft foreign m Snifters that has
ever appeared in this country.
If Mr. Jefferfon had been this
Frenchman, which his enemies,
and the enemies of the country
c dared him to be, this was the
time for it to have been (hewn,
but inftead of this, after having
ad j lifted the exifting differences
with the contending envoys f rom
European courts, with much
reputation to himfelf, and falu
tary advantages to his country ,
we find, on his retireing from
the arduous duties of his office
to private life, he received the
thanks of PrefidentWafhington;
the higheft compenfation that
could be annexed to an Ameri
can character. Another objec
tion exhibited, and no doubt
fandfioned by you and others,
is that of his having dined at
Frederic kfburgh on a Sunday,
upon his return home from
Congrefs. This is a heavy charge
indeed , and ought to be fti icily
ferutinized. But, before I pro
ceed further, is there any great
er impropriety in Mr. Jefferfon
having dined with his country
men; than there is in your dining
with Scotchman almoft i-vtre
Sunday, where in ali probabnio
your majefiy’s hfal'h is often r
drank in <i glafs ci humble pen:
than our prefident ? I have no
doubt from the decided part you
have taken in Bntifh meafures,
tiiat when the king’s health is
drank, you imack your lips, os
a proof rliat die toail gives ad*
ditional flavor to the juice. It
is wliilpered, but not yet con
firmed, that you bore m the late
war a commiftion in the Britilb
Weft-Indies under George the
third ! In the event of this prov
ing true, the federal mantle of
deception that you have long
worn will be thrown oft', and
you will then appear in your
genuine colours. ‘ More on this
lubjed will be laid in another
